GoPro has introduced a new entry-level action camera, the HERO+ with Wi-Fi for $199.99. The HERO+ with Wi-Fi does not feature an LCD, but does offer wireless connectivity for use with the mobile app.

The GoPro HERO+ is an entry-level GoPro option that captures immersive 1080p video at up to 60 fps and features built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. It also takes 8MP still photos in either single-shot, time-lapse, or 5 fps burst modes. For simplicity and ease-of-use, the camera is built-in directly into its housing, enabling underwater shooting at depths of 131′ without requiring a separate housing; simply secure the included Backdoor in place for a watertight seal. Using built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, you can connect the camera to the GoPro Smart Remote or to the GoPro App on your mobile device for shot preview, complete camera control, and easy content sharing to social media sites.

The new entry-level GoPro HERO+ action camera is priced at $199.99 USD. The model will be available starting October 4.
